Not much of an update, the car is taxed again, developed a misfire from somewhere so got to fix that now. Got a new adjustable height steering column to fit to suit the lower position of the low rails. I'm also going to be test fitting a few different intake bits to test things out. 1st is a test of shorter trumpets just to see if they suit my current air filter better. I'm also going to try the plenum back on with a stock airbox and a couple of different trumpets just to see what I prefer. 

I'm also looking at changing the exhaust to make it quieter. After driving around in my corolla for so long I Really can't be arsed with it droning away all the time so would sacrifice a few hp for some refinement lol. After all my end goal is to make it a fairly comfy daily that I can have some fun in if I see fit, no point having a car if you can't use it all the time hey?? 

single pot carriers. They bolt up to Levin twin pot calipers. Then you just need the astra discs turned down with spigot rings or Levin/T-sport discs with spacers behind them. 

Awesome, seems to go well!

Message sicaln he has one for sale.

Welcome along, hopefully you'll get the advice you need 

All ae111 SSS are twinpot yes, not sure on the ae101s. If you fit them to the non SS (mcpherson) hubs you end up with 260mm brakes. But if you use celica caliper carriers on the mcpherson hubs you can space them out to be 275mm like the SSS setup. 

The mcpherson hubs are the same as uk corollas. 

Ae111 Levin hubs that come with twinpots won't fit as theyre from the super strut model which is a completely different suspension setup to the mcpherson used on starlets. 

The top of the hub is mounted to the shock with a ball joint and the lower mount is 2 balljoints to connect to 2 separate wishbone arms

Standard battery will be fine. Never had a problem with fumes, they only really smell when on charge or heavy discharge and theres vents in the boot for when you open and close a door to stop vacuum or pressure buildup when closing.

Pretty much FT, its clamping a metal bush in the middle of the rubber mount so not too much to worry about. 

As above, swap bell housing as a minimum but youll want to check the levin box has the bolt holes for the 4efe front box mount, if not youll have to put some in, or Failing that you'll need to swap all the ae111 internals into your box and if using a 6 speed box youll need the end casing from the ae111 box too as that houses some extra bearings

Or as above use a g6r box and that will all bolt up but you'll need to find an lsd for it.

Wheeeyy glad we're back 

Oil light will only come on if theres a drop in pressure, not from low oil level itself. But the drop in pressure could be caused by low oil level.

I'll invest in it when someone can actually explain to me, why the bitcoin (or the like) has any value.

This is my problem. How has something that doesnt really exist got monetary value?

 It costs some processing power and that rewards you with a bitcoin. But why has it got a value...

Was a set on fb earlier. £600 for the whole set

Some savage numbers, fair play. Look forward to seeing what you can do with the new bits on there!

Yeah but id imagine they will be similar so was a heads up that the gasket may be able to go on a few ways and you need to get the correct orientation :)

I cant see why that diy method wouldnt work just going to take some time. Give it a good clean down afterwards and a blast with an airline to get all the dust and grit out too. 

Also make sure you torque the head up in the correct order and to spec. Oh and the headgaskets on 4efe's can be fitted upside down at which point they leak so you will want to double and triple check orientation before final fitting.

Corolla g6 with the 4efe 1.3 is a direct bolt on. The 4afe box can be used but need to swap bell housings.

Signal is seen from the speedo cluster. Purple/violet wire from there doen to ecu

Not much to update really, been collecting bits for my halfshalf just waiting for some better weather to get stuff fitted, fitted a low rail to my drivers recaro which gives a much better seating position, I've still got to do the passengers side. 

Had my Sparco viper R's powder coated recently and have them away getting tyres fitted by a friend so should be able to pick them up next week. 

In a bit of a lazy mood with the car tbh. Its jacked up on the lawn which is like a swamp so been put off doing anything. 

Think the 80 ecus are 2 plug and ep91 are 3 plug so will be a case of repinning your ep91 to ep80 plugs. But dont qoute me on that 

I think you have to notch out a bit on the shifter cradle too to allow for the extra movement to where reverse will be.

I dont think hydraulic will be an option as you'll need a oil supply to the outer edge of the lifter body to allow the lifter to pump up so to speak.

You could get solid under bucket lifters from a yaris although im Not sure what model engine. This only needs doing if using big cams though.

Cool car thats for sure, just hope the carb doesnt cause issues in the cold 

William tuite, he's from ireland. Think he makes them up in batches so might be a bit of lead time. 

Pretty sure he made the ones connor (ep performance) was selling a while back
